Here is another activity from the MyEnglishImages.com site, hosted by graphic artist, teacher and education blogger Mike Kloran.

Below is an explanation of the number pronunciation worksheets for beginning-level English language students.

Help your students develop their phonemic awareness and speaking skills using the free, downloadable minimal pair worksheets on this site. The My English Image‘s site offers far more than mere images for ESOL teachers, as is evident from the page below and attached. Please open this page’s source link to see other pronunciation worksheets.

This “A Corpus-Based Pronunciation Learning Website” from the University of Hong Kong site offers excellent information and activities for teaching AND learning English language pronunciation skills. It also offers resources for how to learn Chinese!

The Color Vowel Chart below mimics the tongue position used to produce the English vowel phonemes along with a mnemonic word clue and color to help remind learners how to make the sound. Please access the site listed below to learn how to use it, to access the sounds from the interactive chart (click on the color to hear them) and for information on how to gain permission to use the chart in classroom settings. (The authors also sell poster-sized versions of the chart for $5 and sell a pack of 50 “mini-charts” for student use $12. Computer-generated sound files are available for free.)
